Coriander Chutney

Coriander Chutney – Winter season means we can indulge a little. Have some fried food, pakode, chole bhature, and kebabs. And what better thing to accompany all these dishes than coriander chutney.

Coriander chutney can really add taste and flavor to any dish. you can have it with stuffed parathas, sandwiches, aloo poori, peas pulav almost anything.

And it is healthy too. Coriander is the most extensively used herb in Indian cooking. Its seeds, stalks, leaves all parts are used.

We all know about its digestive and antioxidant properties.
I add peanuts and amla to this chutney. Amla is full of vitamin C and antioxidants and gives this chutney the sour taste. peanuts help in keeping our body warm and good source of proteins.
